Professional
Car Key Programming
Expert ECU and transponder key programming service. We program all types of vehicle keys using dealer-level diagnostic equipment.
What Is Key Programming?
Modern vehicles use sophisticated electronic security systems to prevent theft. When you turn your key or press the start button, your vehicle's computer (ECU) checks that the key is authorized to start the engine. This authorization is established through key programming.
Key programming involves coding the electronic chip inside your key to match your vehicle's unique security code. Without proper programming, even a perfectly cut key won't start your car. This is why professional programming equipment and expertise are essential.
At Auto Key Rescue, our technicians use factory-level diagnostic tools and have extensive training in key programming for all major vehicle manufacturers. We can program new keys, reprogram existing keys, or add additional keys to your vehicle's system.
